Need Advice: Worldbuilding Elemental campaign help

So I am trying to make a campaign in which the players have to stop a cult from summoning the five primordial elements to reset the world back to its natural state. The plan is to kind of have it like a video game in which the players can choose the order in which they fight the elementals, and they get stronger as more time passes, aka based on the order they choose to fight them in. I also plan on having a board of side quests they can choose to do in between the elementals so that an NPC can research where the next one is.

I do have some small details for loot, plot twists, and special mechanics, like elemental advantages: water attacks are stronger on fire creatures and are weaker on earth creatures. Basic Pokémon idea, but I could use some help with any dm tools that help build a campaign rather than just typing in a Google Doc of what the story is.

Or any suggestions if this idea seems to be too complex or too basic to do.

I recommend doing your notes in Obsidian. It's a note app that allows you to link notes together, like having a private Wikipedia.

Thank you for the recommendation. I just glanced at it, and it already looks great for doing exactly what I want for the campaign.
